Multimedia Leveled Practice In 1 and 2, use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve. 1. A shipping company uses an inclined 2. Find the missing lengths in the rectangular conveyor belt to load and unload packages. prism. The dock is 15 feet above the ground. The base of the conveyor belt is 40 feet from the dock. What is the length of the conveyor m belt? Round to the nearest tenth of a foot. n 8 cm 6 cm c 24 cm 15 ft a2 + b2 = c 2
40 ft 2 2 2 6 + 8 = m a2 + b2 = c 2 36 + 64 = m2 2 2 2 15 + 40 = c 100 = m2 225 + 1,600 = c2 10 = m 1,825 = c2 a2 + b2 = c 2
42.7 ≈ c 10 2 + 24 2 = n 2
The length of the conveyor belt is about 100 + 576 = n2
42.7 feet. 676 = n2
26 = n
3. A square table in the cafeteria has the 4. Reasoning What is the measurement dimensions shown. What is the length of the longest line segment in a right of the diagonal of the table? Round to rectangular prism that is 26 inches long, the nearest hundredth of a foot. 2 inches wide, and 2 inches tall? Round to About 11.31 ft the nearest tenth of an inch. About 26.2 in.
d 8 ft

5. Make Use of Structure Li needs to find 6. Sasha is building a tree house. The walls the height of the rectangular prism, x. He are 6.5 feet tall and she is using a brace to knows that d = 15 mm. If he also knows the hold up the wall while she nails it to the measure of line a, can he find the measure floor. The brace is 8 feet long and she has of x? Explain. positioned it 5 feet from the wall. Does her wall meet the floor at a right angle? Explain. No; Sample answer: 6.52 +52 3 82
x d
c b a No; Sample answer: If Li knows the lengths of d and c, he can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the height, x. Line c is the hypotenuse of a triangle with sides a, b, c. To find c, he needs to know the measure of both a and b. 7. Higher Order Thinking An eight-sided game piece is shaped like two identical square pyramids attached at their bases. The perimeters of the square bases are 80 millimeters, and the slant height of each pyramid is 17 millimeters. What is the length of the game piece? Round to the nearest tenth of a millimeter. About 27.5 mm
Assessment Practice 8. What are the dimensions, to the nearest 9. Carlos is making a wood picture frame. meter, of the prism? The picture frame is 11 inches by 14 inches.
